Showing Original Post only (View all)How will you change your life if Mitt "wins?" [View all]
I have been thinking of this for some time. We will likely take retirement sooner rather than later - and with less than we planned - so as to get something, because after paying into Social Security for 40+ years, we better get it now. Mitt and Ayn Rand Ryan will destroy it as soon as possible, and that includes those at 55, or even 60. Those under that will have nothing when they are done with that. For younger people, or women who hope to control their bodies, or gay couples who hope for equity, I cannot imagine what will come.
At any rate, we will accelerate plans. What about you?
